Clinician vs non-clinician supported eTherapy for anxiety and depression

Research

The efficacy of supported computerised therapy (eTherapy) for anxiety and depression is established, however questions remain regarding supporter type.

This study examined differences in client outcomes between clinician (Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner – PWP) and non-clinician supported, low intensity eTherapy.

Standardised outcome measures were collected and analysed pre- and post-intervention in two eTherapy services as part of National Health Service (NHS) commissioned, Improving Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) provision – now known as NHS Talking Therapies for anxiety and depression (TT).
